Summary

Aug 30th I posted one part of this 4th Step Workshop and had many emails asking for the rest of it, so this is the full 5 part workshop totaling just under 5 hours. Rick and Bob are the workshop leads, it was held in Mankato Minnesota in 2008, I dont have any other information about this workshop. The audio quality is good but there is some mike noise as each section starts, it doesnt last more than 45 seconds or so. There are some audibility issues as they do Q & A throughout the sessions but the answers make the inaudible questions fairly clear and lastly, I put a brief click track between parts. Part 1: Introduction & Step Three Part 2: Resentments (Previously posted, approx. 57 min long if you want to jump ahead) Part 3: Personal Stories & Resentments Recap. Part 4: Questions & Fear Inventory Part 5: Sex Conduct Email: sobercast@gmail.com Support Sober Cast: https://sobercast.com/donate Sober Cast Linktree: https://linktr.ee/sobercast We have added a page of meetings that have moved online https://sobercast.com/online-meetings Sober Cast has 1900+ episodes available, visit SoberCast.com to access all the episodes where you can easily find topics or specific speakers using tags or search.

much of it.

It says this is the forward as it appeared in the first printing of the first edition

in 1939.

It says we of alcoholics and animus are more than 100 men and women who have recovered

from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.

1:08.6

We've recovered, we're not recovering, we've recovered from we're no longer seemingly

hopeless.
